    I A THE NORFOLK NEWS' Fill DAY , ,1U1Y 27 , 15)00 ) ,
THE NORTHWESTERN TAKES OFF
THE SPECIAL SERVICE.
.PASSENGERS . FAILED TO DEVELOP
The Expected Rush to the New Town
Has Been a Disappointment and the
Road Will Take Care of RVjIstra-
tlon Business on Its Regular Trains.
The Shoshonl train on tlio Chicago"
& Northwestern will bo discontinued
on Wednesday of this week , new time
cnrds with the train omitted being Is
sued from the Superintendent's head
quarters In Norfolk today. The aban
donment of tills train Is brought about
through failure of development of pa
tronage , there being comparatively
few going to Shoshonl to register for
drawing of land. This failure of In
tel cat In the country opening up Is
something decidedly unusual , as all
opbnlngs previous to this have been
attended by a tremendous rush of people
ple to get frco farms.
It may bo possible that during the
week a greater number of people will
go to Shoshonl than have thus far ,
but It la evident that the railroad com
pany does not feel justified In continu
ing the .expense of running the train
with the prospects In sight. The reg
istration closes August 1 , and those
who contemplate trying for a piece of
land have only a little more than a
week to go to the front. The North
western Is still In position to handle
all the passengers who want to go to
Shoshonl , by way of Its Black Hills
train , connections being made at Chad-
ron with the regular train to Shoshonl.
If a rush develops during the remain
ing tlmo'for registration , enough ex
tras will be run to accommodate all
who plan to go.
The now time card goes Into effect
"Wednesday at 12:05 : p. m. No'ne of
the trains reaching Norfolk are affect
ed by the card , except the dropping of
the Shoshonl passenger.
Registration Is Light.
Registration at Shoshonl up to Sat
urday night was 1,527 ; at Lander , C40 ;
"Worlaml , 4G5 ; Thermopolls , 182.
In the opinion of the land office offi
cials the total registration at all plac
es will bo less than 5,000 , which Is
2,000 less than the number of claims.
Many who came here to secure lands
have been attracted to the mountains
by the recent big strike at Copper
mountain , and It Is predicted that If
the mining excitement continues many
who came to farm will abandon that
idea for the more alluring prospects
of mining.
Surprised at > ' _ ack of Interest.
Congressman Frank W. Mondell of
Wyoming was In Omaha yesterday ,
find In an Interview with the Bee said
in part :
"Wo are all interested in the Shoshone -
shone opening just now and I am a
llttlo surprised there has not boon a
greater rush for the reservation lands.
That country Is susceptible of the
greatest developments and is one of
the best Irrigable sections in the west.
Under the present plans of the govern
ment about 400,000 acres of the Shoshone -
shone lands will be brought under Ir
rigation. The Big Wind river travers
es the reservation to the Owl Creek
mountains , where It cuts through Owl
Creek canyon and then becomes the
Big Horn.
"During the last year or two , as a
member of the Irrigation committee of
congress , I have traveled over 10,000
miles of Irrigable country , investigat
ing conditions , and I know of no sec
tion that surpasses the Shoshone coun
try In this matter. Then again , the
Shoshone country Is traversed by val
uable mineral ranges , Including gold
and copper , and lies adjacent to other
fine mining sections. It Is truly a
wonderland and I anticipate that the
recent gold and copper discoveries In
that country will be the cause of the
overflow of prospectors , drifting Into
the Shoshone region , and thus become
informed of Its possibilities.
"Tho extension of the Northwestern
railroad westward and north through
the Shoshone country to Yellowstone
park and the extension of the Burling
ton Toluca. branch southward to Its
Cheyenne line at Worland means there
will bo a great crossing point of those
roads somewhere within the Shoshone
country , giving it the best railroad fa
cilities In western Wyoming. This
will necessarily hurry the opening up
of a great country there along all lines
of industrial activity , and will ulti
mately result In the Northwestern de
veloping Into one of the great trans
continental lines passing directly
through that region and which will be
the main line to Yellowstone park.
Must Make the Entries at Shoshonl.
In accordance with a supplemental
proclamation issued by the president
thfl register and receiver of the land
office for the coming district shall re
ceive entries for lands In ceded portion
tion of the Shoshone reservation at
Shoshonl , Wyo. , from August 15 to Oc
tober 3 , 190C , Instead of at Lander , as
provided in the proclamation of June
2 ,
This action was based upon the fact
that the railroad now building Into
said reservation will not bo construct
ed from Shoshonl to Lander until af
ter August 15 , and the ohango Is made
to accommodate prospective entrymon.
All persons who draw number at
the drawing which begins at Lander ,
Wyo. , on August 4. 1000 , which num
ber makes them entry between the
dates of August 15 and October 3 , In
clusive , must proceed to Shoshonl ,
Wyo. , and make their entries Instead
of going to Lander , as provided In the
" . . rt.tnHar 9
entries will bo made at Lander , Wyo.
The acting commissioner of the gen
eral land olllcu has announced that
there- would be a sale of the town lots
In the government town sites of Hoy-
burn and Rupert , In the Mlnldaka Irri
gation project , Idaho , beginning at
Heyburn on August 20 , and at Huport
on August 27. The lots will bo sold
to the highest bidder for cash by the
register and receiver at the townsltcs
In which the lots are located.

Old Lady Was Hungry.
When the Omaha train pulled oui
of Mankato Saturday It had on board
an old-fashioned lady with "a basket 01
her arm. whoso traveling had evident
ly boon very limited. After adjusting
her spectacles , she proceeded to take
a quiet survey of the Interior of the
coach. The bqll cord attracted her at
tentlon and she Inquired of a "drum
mor" In the next seat what It was for
"That Is to pull when you get hungr >
nnd want them to bring you n lunch , '
ho replied. In n short time the other
passengers were surprised to see the
old lady get up and give the cord a vlg
orous pull , which brought the train
to a standstill. The conductor nisli
In to know what the matter was. The
old lady quietly arose and said : "Sa >
Mister , will you please bring mo a
chicken sandwich nnd a bottle of roe
beer ? "
The passengers burst Into n honrt >
laugh and the "con. " gave the slgnn
to go ahead. Probably the nice eli
lady Is still wondering what the trnli
stopped on the prnlrlo for.
